Episodes

  1. Diversity of Thought

    Organizations are trying to get more diverse, but they don’t know how. Most people can’t handle being proven wrong or telling others they’re wrong + it’s become taboo to have a civil conversation about issues across a wide spectrum.

  2. What Is Work / Life Balance?

    You work 8+ hours a day. You sleep 4-8 hours a day. You gotta eat, poop, and do some other stuff along the way. But you Work MOST OF THE DAY...so now what?

  3. Focus & Refinement

    Focus is often thought of in a very narrow context and I think that doesn’t take into account the consistency of refinement.

  4. Why Ad Agencies Can’t Sell Anything Other Than Advertising

    Advertising hasn’t been required to prove an ROI up until now. But as in-house teams and “DIY” platforms open up, agencies NEED to be able to provide and prove their own value.

  5. No Conflict Resolution Without Conflict

    In organizations where you’re building something big it is inevitable that you will encounter conflict. Without that you can’t get beyond people’s limitations. But be mindful because it can be tricky business.

  6. The Power Of Relationships

    Everybody knows this. But WHY EXACTLY is it so important? If you are only thinking from the perspective of how it’s valuable for YOU you may have missed the boat.

  7. Branding Is...

    People often get confused when they think or talk about what branding is. Just like how marketing and advertising have become muddled and difficult to distinguish, so too has branding. Hopefully this helps clear some things up!

  8. Creative Agency Bars

    Listen to me rap about whack advertising companies and executives and why you should hire us to do your creative. 🧐

  9. Netflix’s Stock Tumbles

    Netflix’s stock fell between 13% - 14% recently, citing “faulty forecasting,” and a 50% off-target result for new subscriber growth. What will happen next?!

  10. How Prospecting Changed With Digitalization

    “Dialing for dollars,” and going door to door are definitely a dying art. They’re also tactics that basically evolved into automated email & banner ads. If you’re looking for the connection between old and new here it is...

  11. Audio & SEO

    It’s obvious that audio and voice are making headway in the world of search. But there are a great number of unanswered questions and plenty of speculation to go around. If you’re not up on it, let me catch you up to speed.

  12. Uncle Drew // Branded Entertainment Success Story

    Pepsi Co teamed up with Summit Entertainment, Kyrie Irving, and some industry pros to create a profitable new franchise so they can OWN their own media power.

  13. Trade War Explained

    If you’re not familiar with this in detail you can be in about 10 minutes.

  14. The Recession Is Coming!

    I don’t mean to sound like Chicken Little but...

  15. M Is For (Monday) Motivation

    When you’re feeling lame or lazy how do you kick your butt into gear?

  16. Industry over the individual

    Agencies in Hollywood traditionally were not legally allowed to produce due to conflicts of interest in contract negotiations and the execution of the business. But the regional monopoly is breaking.

  17. Entertainment is changing

    The formats are open ended, there are more creative outlets, and Hollywood isn't the only game in town anymore. Things are definitely changing in the entertainment landscape!

  18. Entourage - examples if brand

    This show is full of valuable information and demonstrations about how some things work in Hollywood. The creators and the characters are very clever and creative..

  19. Branded entertainment's future

    Advertising, media, branding, and marketing are blending together now. Some of those results have proven incredibly valuable for brands like Lego who capitalized their own marketing with entertainment

  20. On brand continuity

    It is taken as a given that your brand ought to have continuity across its expression on multiple channels, however, there are many places where unique voices from within your brand make a difference.

  21. LinkedIn's Left-Leaning Brand

    LinkedIn is supposed to be the "professional network" but now seems wrought with SJW politics or hashtag movements devoid of reason, direction, or sense. I'm sick of it and used to love this platform.

  22. No brand nor advertising?

    Do you need to brand OR advertise? Probably. But maybe not always and especially in certain circumstances.

  23. Disconnected (Brand & Ad)

    When branding and advertising are properly connected they impact each other in amazing ways that propel your business forward. When they're disconnected things can get weird.

  24. Importance Of Being Earnest

    People in general need to get real with themselves first, early, and often. When we allow people to pass off lazy branding work as revolutionary it dilutes markets and makes a mockery of innovation.

  25. Branding As Advertising

    This is the first step in an experiment about distinguishing the fundamentals of business and using that pursuit as Advertising for MADE.

  30. James Damore (Ex Google) Fired

    Politics and commerce are forever intertwined and that became more evident than ever this past week when a Googler got fired for his "manifesto" about gender and diversity at the company.

  31. Get Found Locally

    SEO for restaurants, architects, and others. Go out and network too! Generate leads by any means necessary.

  32. Let's Talk About Profit

    Companies these days are obsessed with their valuation. Turning a real profit should always be a business' goal, and doing so in an honorable way.

  33. Content Planning Basics

    There are so many layers of complexity with respect to creating and producing a content plan. Choices are endless, so you have to find a way to limit for yourself.

  34. "Not Concerned With Revenue"

    Alt Space VR just shut their doors and we could see it coming after hearing from an employee some time ago that they "aren't concerned with revenue." That's no way to build a business!

  35. AI Debate

    Musk vs. Zuck, it's heating up. And people need to seriously consider the implications of introducing such complicated and philosophically monumental technology into society.

  36. Transmedia SEO
